  • I am trying to pass the value of a field from the seeded page /oracle/apps/

    I am trying to pass the value of a field from the seeded page /oracle/apps/asn/opportunity/webui/OpptyDetPG. The value I want is in the VO oracle.apps.asn.opportunity.server.OpportunityDetailsVO and the field PartyName.
    I have created a button on the page whose destination URL is
    OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_CS_SR_QUERY&CustName={#PartyName}
    It opens the correct page, but in the URL it shows this
    http://aa.com:8005/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_CS_SR_QUERY&CustName=&_ti=1897289736&oapc=177&oas=x5E2TIfP1Y0FykBt1ek4ug..
    You can see that &CustName is not getting the proper value. Do I need to do something different?

    You cannot call the form with OA.jsp . This is applicable only for OAF based pages registered as a function.
    For calling a Form, use the below example:
    You have to change the application responsibility key and form function name .
    "form:PN:PN:STANDARD:XXPNTLEASE:QUERY_LEASE_ID={@QueryLeaseNumber}"

    Hi,
    Can you please explain me step by step how to know the status of the concurrent program from back end in oracle apps.
    Thanks,

    When a record is being updated by a form, if you create a Pre-Update trigger on the block, the trigger will run for each record being updated.
    Same thing happens with a Pre-Insert and Pre-Delete trigger.

    you may want to check out commands like xmlforest and xmlelement
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions221.htm
    copied from documentation
    Purpose
    XMLForest converts each of its argument parameters to XML, and then returns an XML fragment that is the concatenation of these converted arguments.
    •If value_expr is a scalar expression, then you can omit the AS clause, and Oracle Database uses the column name as the element name.
    •If value_expr is an object type or collection, then the AS clause is mandatory, and Oracle uses the specified c_alias as the enclosing tag. The c_alias can be up to 4000 characters.
    •If value_expr is null, then no element is created for that value_expr.
    Examples
    The following example creates an Emp element for a subset of employees, with nested employee_id, last_name, and salary elements as the contents of Emp:
    SELECT XMLELEMENT("Emp",
    XMLFOREST(e.employee_id, e.last_name, e.salary))
    "Emp Element"
    FROM employees e WHERE employee_id = 204;
    Emp Element
    <Emp>
    <EMPLOYEE_ID>204</EMPLOYEE_ID>
    <LAST_NAME>Baer</LAST_NAME>
    <SALARY>10000</SALARY>
    </Emp>

  • XML Report in Arabic login in Oracle apps

    Hi,
    I have created a XML report in Oracle apps, the data is coming properly from english login.
    But when we login from Arabic Login then report does not show any data.
    The data does not come even after hard coding the values.
    Any clue for the issue..
    Below is the main query in the report.
    SELECT
    PAC1.PAYROLL_ID ,
    PAC1.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID ,
    HR_PAYROLLS.DISPLAY_PERIOD_NAME(PAC1.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID) PERIOD_NAME,
    PRO.PAYROLL_NAME
    ,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MM-YYYY') REPORT_DATE1
    FROM pay_payrolls_f pro,
    pay_payroll_actions pac1
    ,PER_TIME_PERIODS_V V
    WHERE pac1.payroll_id = pro.payroll_id (+)
    AND pac1.effective_date BETWEEN pro.effective_start_date (+) AND pro.effective_end_date (+)
    AND DECODE( PAC1.ACTION_TYPE, 'H', NVL(pay_payroll_actions_pkg.decode_cheque_type(pac1.business_group_id), HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('ACTION_TYPE', PAC1.ACTION_TYPE)), 'T', DECODE(instrb(PAC1.LEGISLATIVE_PARAMETERS,'SLA_MODE=Y'), 0, HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('TRANSFER_TO_LEDGER', 'GL'), NULL, HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('TRANSFER_TO_LEDGER', 'GL'), HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('TRANSFER_TO_LEDGER', 'SLA')) , HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('ACTION_TYPE', PAC1.ACTION_TYPE)) = 'Run'
    AND PAC1.Payroll_id = 61--:P_PAYROLL_ID
    AND PAC1.time_period_id = V.time_period_id
    AND to_char(v.start_date,'MM-YYYY') = '01-2013'--:P_MONTH

    in the next time use EBS related forums - https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=3
    BTW
    looks like that for Arabic language you haven't some data
    in your main query you have PER_TIME_PERIODS_V which based on HR_LOOKUPS which depend on session language
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW HR_LOOKUPS
    where FLV.LANGUAGE = userenv('LANG')
    ...so check data in HR_LOOKUPS for Arabic language
    you can check it by query without PER_TIME_PERIODS_V
    also you can modify your main query like
    select t.PAYROLL_ID,
           t.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID,
           t.PERIOD_NAME,
           t.PAYROLL_NAME,
           t.REPORT_DATE1
      from (SELECT PAC1.PAYROLL_ID,
                   PAC1.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID,

                   PRO.PAYROLL_NAME,
                   TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY') REPORT_DATE1,

  • Getting question marks in html output when XML sourced from a CLOB...

    I have noticed a number of other unanswered questions on the
    same subject in this forum. Can someone at Oracle shed some
    light on this problem?...
    I store XML in CLOBS which contain a lot of &eacute; &ouml;
    characters. When using XSQL to select the XML from the CLOB I
    have to apply a stylesheet to the XSQL (myFile.xsql) with
    disable-output-escaping ="yes" in order to output well formed
    XML.
    I then call the XSQL file from inside another stylesheet i.e.
    <xsl:variable name="sample" select="document(myFile.xsql)"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="$sample">
    <html>
    <body>
    <title>
    <xsl:value-of select="/page/title"/>
    </title>
    </body>
    </html>
    etc...
    I use <xsl:for-each select="$sample"> to output the XML I need,
    within the HTML. The problem is though if "&eacute;" appears in
    the /page/title node the output in HTML appears as a question
    mark.
    Its important to note as well that the stylesheet I apply to
    myFile.xsql starts with:
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output doctype-system="/myFile.dtd" indent="yes"/>
    etc..
    and myFile.dtd has <!ENTITY eacute "&#x000E9;"> in order to
    validate &eacute; in the CLOB.
    I don't have this problem when the &eacute; character is stored
    in a VARCHAR2 column and the VARCHAR2 column is in the same
    select statement as the CLOB in the XSQL file. This outputs in
    my HTML just fine. What am I missing here?
    Shaun

    I parse the XML doc into a domdocument and then loop through using xpath.valueof to pull the individual values from the nodes and then build a generic insert. It works quite well with a small number of columns. I'm not sure how it would work with a lot of columns. You can get code examples from Steve Muench's book "Developing Oracle XML Applications".

  • XML Data from PL/SQL procedure -- special character issue (eBS)

    Hi All,
    I am developing a report, where the XML data is created by a PL/SQL procedure. I chose this approach over a data template, since there is a lot of processing involved in producing the actual data, and it cannot be done by select-statements alone. The report is run as a regular concurrent request.
    So far so good. There is a problem though. Every time the data contains special characters (ä, ö, umlauts), the concurrent request is completed with a warning, the log confirms that "One or more post-processing actions failed.", also there is no output file. The XML structure is valid as such. The report runs smoothly and produces the output when the XML data does not contain special characters.
    I am producing the XML lines by using the standard FND_FILE.PUT_LINE procedure: Fnd_File.put_line(Fnd_File.output, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'); This seems like a character encoding issue, but declaring the UTF-8 encoding in this way does not solve the problem.
    Any ideas what can be done to fix this? I have been searching Metalink but cannot find an answer. Many thanks for your kind help.
    Best Regards, Matilda

    Hi Rajesh,
    One idea I have, is that it might be possible to modify the PL/SQL code into a "before report" type trigger, attached to a data template. The code would process the data and write the lines into a temporary table, from which the data template could retrieve them in a simple select-query. However, it would be neat to be able to solve this without adding an extra layer of processing, since BI Publisher supposedly supports PL/SQL procedures as the data source.
    The data in this case is all correct, special characters are an intrinsic feature of the Finnish language. :)
    Best Regards, Matilda

  • Different Output of the template from Template Builder and Oracle Apps.

    Hi,

    Nagpal,
    This forum is dedicated to Non-Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) forms development. I suggest you post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum. Developing Forms for the EBS is very different fr0m non-EBS forms because of the EBS Framework.
    Probably the biggest mistake developers make when writeing EBS Forms is to create a form fr0m scratch rather than use the EBS TEMPLATE.fmb. The second biggest mistake is to not attach all of the necessary libraries. I suggest you take a look at the Oracle Applications Documentation library. Select your EBS version and then scroll to the Standards section and review the following documents:
    <ul>
    <li>Oracle Applications Developer's Guide
    <li>Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products
    <li>Oracle Application Framework Personalization Guide
    </ul>
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)
